Stimulate Muscular Trigger Points

What Is Dry Needling Good For? Acupuncture therapy represents an entire spectrum of needle insertion and needle non-insertion techniques. Dry needling fits best into the ashi category of acupuncture stimulation. The goal of ashi acupuncture is to stimulate muscular trigger points.

Is Dry Needling Safe?

Dry needling or ashi acupuncture is a safe technique if the medical provider has received sufficient training.

Licensed acupuncturists have over 800 hours of supervised training in the safe and effective insertion of needles.

Under trained medical providers dry needling complications are not a significant risk for patients. Ashi acupuncture or dry needling should not be painful or cause permanent damage.

Fantastic service, bedside manner, and results. Mark is a person who truly knows his craft inside and out and is always looking to learn more. I’m tempted to call him a wizard in fact- once you have a session with him you will know what I mean. Highly recommended for tough cases, wellness cases, and everything in between. A true gem.
